VISION has been released of what police believe to be a man re-enacting a shooting at Blakeview that left a victim with serious injuries.

A 26-year-old man was seriously wounded in the Blakeview shooting, when three shots were fired into a house on Cruikshank St about 6.45am on Sunday, February 23.

Police say the shooting was not random, however the injured man was not the intended target.

The victim was sleeping in a front bedroom of the property when hit by a round from a .22 handgun, leaving him with a collapsed lung requiring hospital treatment and that may have long-term health consequences, police said.

Crime Gangs Task Force police, who are investigating the shooting, today released CCTV footage that was filmed at an Elizabeth house about an hour after the shooting.

“We believe this shows a man who, in quite an excited state, is seen to re-enact what police believe occurred at the Blakeview property just an hour earlier,” he said.

“We are appealing for public assistance to identify this man and provide any other details that may help resolve this matter.

“We know the man in this footage went to the address in a dark blue VS Series 2 Holden Calais sedan, which is now in the possession of police.

“Police believe that while the incident was not random, the victim in this case was not the intended target of the shooting.”

Investigators also want to identify the second man in the footage and believe he can help with the inquiry.

Police are also probing links to another incident that same morning when about 8.30am, a man and woman were seen standing in front of a dark coloured 4WD on the left verge of Dalkeith Rd, near Coventry Rd, at Kudla.

The duo appeared to set fire to something on the side of the road before driving west.

Evidence of a small fire was found at that spot and burnt clothing was recovered, which police believe may be related to the shooting.

Anyone with information about either of these incidents, or who recognises the man in the CCTV footage, is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report online.
